A versatile performer, Jerry Jean has graced a slew of iconic venues, appearing on MTV Unplugged and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and delivered alongside the likes of Florence + The Machine and Boyz II Men, showcasing a broad musical talent.
Based in New York City, the artist is award-winning, and his multi-faceted creativity is stretching across musical roles. With music spanning from intimate to epic, he is steadily leading audiences to a second full-length album after his debut explored the search for a home in a chaotic modern world, receiving honours at The Hollywood Music in Media Awards and the Global Music Awards.
For his latest release, Jerry Jean unveils the soulful grooves of ‘Lean In’. The first moments build a soundscape of rhythmic guitars, grooving bass lines and tight drum kit movement. This atmosphere quickly grows, its soulful tendencies bursting into disco strings, melodic saxophone and gospel vocal layers. The verse from Nicole Zuraitis feeds into this sense of power, her voice soaring through the observational themes, Jerry’s return to the melody initiating a bright duet as the instrumentation continues to explode with vibrant colour. The sax screams, the keys hit, and the drums unveil high-energy fills, but the vocals still take the cake for amazing performances.
Jerry comments on the single, ”I wrote Lean In as a reminder to be fully present in whichever stage of life you’re in. To inhabit the now and not dwell on the past or the future. Life’s incredibly dynamic when you’re committed to the now, and I tried to capture this vibrancy with Lean In.”
